Abstract: The single or multiple curved hose section has walling formed from polymer material with or without textile reinforcement layers. It is formed as a straight length (1) which is bent to the actual curved shape in the curved areas (I,II,III) by rigidly shaped curved shaping components (2). In the curved areas, the hose section has as shaping component, a covering in the form of a correspondingly curved rigidly shaped tube section, the inner width of which corresponds to the outer dia. of the hose. A viscous slide medium is applied on the shaping component and/or the facing hose wall surface before the shaping component is fitted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Fuzzy systems normally assume a predetermined and invariable membership function for the individual linguistic variables, the form and value range of the membership function being prescribed. According to the invention, individual elements in the fuzzy system such as membership functions, rules, rule weightings and the like can be changed by the automation system itself. Preferably at least one membership function is changed on-line during the operation of the automation system. In the associated arrangement with at least one fuzzy system with inputs and outputs, the software module (1, 2) responsible for fuzzyfication receives at least one additional input (30, 40-50). The proposed method and associated arrangement can be used advantageously to optimize energy consumption in factories or to control water circulation systems.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid test sample by applying the fluid test sample to the surface of a working electrode which is electrochemically connected to a reference electrode which surface bears a composition comprising an enzyme specific for the analyte. A mediator is reduced in response to a reaction between the analyte and the enzyme. An oxidizing potential is applied between the electrodes to return at least a portion of the mediator back to its oxidized form before determining the concentration of the analyte to thereby increase the accuracy of the analyte determination. Following this initially applied potential, the circuit is switched to an open circuit or to a potential that substantially reduces the current to minimize the rate of electrochemical potential at the working electrode. A second potential is applied between the electrodes and the current generated in the fluid test sample is measured to determine analyte concentration. Optionally, the accuracy of the analyte determination is further enhanced algorithmically. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Magnesium low base number (LBN) sulphonates derived from high molecular weight sulphonic acids have low viscosity and are chloride free. The magnesium low base number sulphonates are not skin sensitisers. In their preparation neutralisation of high molecular weight sulphonic acids or partially neutralised soaps of high molecular weight sulphonic acids is completed by the use of a high base number sulphonate in conjunction with a carboxylic acid. The process does not require the use of chloride containing promoters and produces low chloride products.

Abstract: The present invention features an improved milking system that provides a precise, delineated transition between the pressure and vacuum phases of a pulsator mechanism. The system features a two-valve control that provides a sharp transition between the alternating air pressure and vacuum that are supplied to a teat cup. One valve of the pulsator mechanism controls the vacuum inlet; the other valve controls the atmospheric air inlet. The electronics actuating the valves alternates the air and vacuum supplied to the pulsator outlet, so that the vacuum and atmospheric air sources are never simultaneously connected to the pulsator outlet.

Abstract: A system and method for anterior fixation of the spine utilizes a cylindrical implant engaged in the intradiscal space at the cephalad and caudal ends of the construct. The implants are cylindrical fusion devices (10) filled with bone material to promote bone ingrowth and fusion of the disc space. An attachment member (40) is connected to each of the fusion devices (10) and bone screws (30) having similar attachment members (33) are engaged in the vertebral bodies of the intermediate vertebrae. A spinal rod (50) is connected to each of the attachment members using an eyebolt assembly (53, 54, 55). In a further inventive method, a revision of the construct is achieved by removing the fusion devices. Each fusion device is engaged by an elongated guide member (62) over which a cylindrical trephine (70) is advanced. The trephine (70) has an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the fusion implant and includes cutting teeth (72) for extracting a core (84) of bone material around the fusion implant. The trephine (70) and guide member (62) are removed along with the bone core (84) containing the fusion implant (10). The trephine (70) is also used to extract a bone dowel from a solid bone mass to be inserted into the space left by the removed bone core (84).

Abstract: An economically viable method for producing sugars using concentrated acid hydrolysis of biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose is disclosed. The cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass is first decrystallized and then hydrolyzed to produce a hydrolysate containing both sugars and acid. Silica and silicates present in the biomass can then be removed for further processing, which includes the steps of treating the solids with a metal hydroxide solution to produce an extract, reducing the pH of the extract to produce silicic acid, and removing the silicic acid from the extract. The remaining solids are then subjected to a second decrystallization if necessary and a second hydrolyzation to optimize the sugar yields.

Abstract: La cellule électrolytique décrite, telle qu'une pile rechargeable au lithium, comprend des éléments concaves associés à une électrode source d'ions métalliques et un électrolyte. Les éléments concaves, qui sont ancrés à l'électrode par un lien polymère, peuvent attirer des ions particuliers de manière libérable, tels que des ions de lithium, qui migrent de l'électrolyte vers la surface de l'électrode pendant l'électrodéposition. Le lien polymère sert à maintenir les éléments concaves toujours à une distance prédéterminée de la surface de l'électrode, quelles que soient les fluctuations de la surface efficace typiquement causées pendant le dépôt et la dissolution des ions particuliers. Les éléments concaves facilitent ainsi sensiblement l'électrodéposition uniforme de certains ions, ce qui ainsi élimine et/ou réduit sensiblement la formation et la croissance d'un film passif ou couche passive sur la surface de l'électrode qui autrement favoriserait la formation de dendrites.
